Selecting the switch-on time for the
auxiliary heating* This function is only available if the vehicle
has an auxiliary heating system.
The
Auxiliary

heat. function allows you to
select three switch-on times. You can set the
exact switch-on time using the other func-
tions in the Heater submenu.
The auxiliary heating adopts the Thermatic or
4-zone Thermotronic* temperature setting.
The minimum and maximum temperature set-
tings for the auxiliary heating are 20 † and
24 † respectively.
You can switch off the auxiliary heating by
using the remote control or the auxiliary heat-
ing button on the centre console.
The auxiliary heating is switched off automat-
ically after 50 minutes. This time can be
changed. To do this, visit a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. G
Risk of fire and poisoning
The operation of the auxiliary heating pro-
duces hot, toxic exhaust fumes. The fuel
vapours produced during refuelling could
ignite on the hot exhaust system.
Do not switch on the auxiliary heating at
filling stations or in enclosed spaces, for
instance,

a garage, if there is no air extrac-
tion system.
You could otherwise endanger yourself and
others.
The Auxiliary heat. function can be called
up directly.
X Turn the key to position 1
or 2 in the ignition
lock.

Care
211
Automatic car wash G
Risk of accident
The vehicle is braked when HOLD is activa-
ted. Therefore, deactivate HOLD before the
vehicle is washed in an automatic car wash.
You can wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash from the very start.
! Do not use a touch-free automatic car
wash that uses chemical agents to wash
the vehicle.
Preferably use one with high-pressure jets for
prewashing.
If the vehicle is very dirty, prewash it before
cleaning it in an automatic car wash.
! Make sure that the automatic car wash is
suitable for the size of the vehicle. Fold in
the exterior mirrors before the vehicle is
washed. There is otherwise a risk of dam-
age to the exterior mirrors.
! Make sure the side windows are com-
pletely closed, the ventilation/heater
blower is fully turned off and the wind-
screen wiper switch is set to 0. The rain
sensor may otherwise be activated, for
instance, leading to inadvertent wiper sweeps being triggered. This could cause
damage to the vehicle.
After using an automatic car wash, wipe off
wax from the windscreen and the wiper
blades. This will prevent smears and reduce
wiping

noises caused by residue on the wind-
screen.
High-pressure cleaners G
Risk of accident
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with cir-
cular-jet nozzles (dirt grinders) to clean
your vehicle or - especially - the tyres. You
could otherwise damage the tyres and
cause an accident.
! Observe the instructions issued by the
equipment manufacturer concerning the
distance to be maintained between the
nozzle

of the high-pressure cleaner and the
vehicle (at least 30 cm).
Move the high-pressure cleaner nozzle
around when cleaning your vehicle.
Do not aim directly at any of the following:
R Tyres
R Door joint
R Electrical components R
Battery
R Connectors
R Bulbs
R Seals
Damaged seals or electrical components
can lead to failures or leaks.
Cleaning the wiper blades and the out-
side of the windscreen G
Risk of injury
Turn the key to position 0 in the ignition
lock
before cleaning the windscreen or the
wiper blades. There is otherwise a risk of
the windscreen wipers being set in motion
and causing injury.
X Turn the key to position 1 in the ignition
lock (Y page 74).
X Set the windscreen wipers to the u
position on the combination switch
(Y page 97).
X Turn the key to position 0
or remove it when
the wiper arms are vertical ( Y page 74). Operation
